Connecting IntelliBoard to Moodle

Search our help articles

IntelliBoard strongly recommends that the individual installing the IntelliBoard plugin and creating the Moodle Connection be the Site Administrator of the LMS System.  The LMS System user connecting IntelliBoard to Moodle must have the ability to enable web services, change web protocols, and create Moodle tokens.

IntelliBoard is a web-based service. If your LMS is behind a firewall, a port will need to be configured for IntelliBoard services to connect successfully. Contact us for necessary IP addresses.

To Create a Moodle Connection:

  1. After logging on to IntelliBoard with the main subscription email, click Settings

  2. From Settings, click Servers

  3. From Servers, click + Add New and choose Moodle Connection

Frequently Asked Questions:

STEP ONE

We know this sounds silly, are you signing on with the email/password assigned with your IntelliBoard subscription? (There are so many passwords these days!) Remember there is one main email associated with your IntelliBoard subscription.  (You may have other users who can access IntelliBoard through Sub Accounts/IB users, but there is only one email associated with the IntelliBoard subscription.)  Also please make sure you are signing on to IntelliBoard 5.x+ instead of IntelliBoard 4.8. 

STEP TWO

From IntelliBoard site go to Settings > Servers

 

Check the "Status" for your Moodle Instance(s).  

Click the "Moodle Connection" link.

From here make sure all of the blocks are filled out with your Instance's information.

Click "Save Connection".

 

STEP THREE

The IntelliBoard 5.0 plugin included a security update requiring the main subscription information to be included in the settings within your LMS system. 

From your LMS go to Site Administration > Plugins > Local Plugins > http://IntelliBoard.net Plugin.

 

Add the email of the person who is associated with the main IntelliBoard subscription.

Click "Save changes".
